Thanks Justin,

Understood.

Had I noticed that I probably wouldn't have commented as I did above.
But, FWIIW, in such cases my suggestion would be to separate the
declaration from the assignment.

Something like this:

	struct rtase_private *tp = netdev_priv(dev);
	const struct pci_dev *pdev = tp->pdev;
	struct rtase_int_vector *ivec;
	u16 i, j;
	int ret;

	ivec = &tp->int_vector[0];
